About this map

Modoc Valley anchors the southern portion of this landscape where the Missouri-Oklahoma state line divides Newton and Ottawa counties. This 2021 survey reveals a transition from the southern outskirts of Joplin and the established residential community of Loma Linda to the more rural, creek-dissected terrain of the Ozark plateau. The map is particularly rich in family and community burial grounds, documenting the lineage of rural settlements such as Hornet and Spring City.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with Fivemile Creek and Warren Branch carving through the limestone, while the Austin-Harrison Reservoir sits just north of Racine. These features, along with the Five Mile Airport and a dense network of local roads like Butterfield Drive and Thrifty Acres Road, illustrate the modern balance of agriculture, aviation, and suburban expansion near the tri-state border.
